Website Best Practice: B2B

If your B2B business website merely exists and nothing more, you’re already turning away potential customers. Consider that 89 percent of B2B buyers begin their research online, with nearly half making their decision without ever talking to your sales department. Is your website engaging potential customers at every step of the buying cycle?

Protecting Sensitive Information

From telephone numbers and addresses to usernames and passwords, data encryption is the safest way to protect information sent through a web form. But once this data is collected and stored, it’s imperative for websites to have an additional layer of protection to ensure the information remains secured.

Gravitate Encryption, a custom WordPress plugin developed with businesses in mind, offers a safe and comprehensive solution to protecting your customers’ most sensitive information. With remote database storage and secret passphrases to encrypt and decrypt the data, Gravitate Encryption can safeguard web forms that require users to submit their social security numbers, dates of birth, or any other confidential banking information.

Implementing Responsive Design

From 2012 to 2014, we’ve seen a 91 percent growth in B2B researchers using smartphones during the path to purchase. This means that B2B websites must be mobile-friendly to serve the needs of these potential clients. A responsive design allows visitors to read and navigate your website on any device, as the optimal viewing area automatically adjusts to the user’s screen size, platform, and orientation. Consequently, whether your visitors are using an 8-inch tablet or a 4-inch smartphone, a responsive website eliminates the need to swipe, pinch, and reverse pinch to see the content.

Aside from providing a better user experience (UX) for your mobile customers, responsive sites can also be used to re-prioritize elements on a page. Buttons, calls to action, and even blocks of text may be removed, repositioned, or resized to make your content more effective on smaller devices.

How We Build B2B Websites

Strategy: The process begins by conducting market research, competitive analysis, and data tracking so that we fully understand your target audience and their buying behaviors. This data allows us to develop detailed persona archetypes, user flows, and intuitive information architecture based on content strategy.

Design: After creating a solid strategy, our designers work diligently to build a beautiful, conversion-focused design that truly upholds the power of your brand. Our designers reflect on weeks of research and strategy as they meticulously adjust layouts, calls to action, and visual hierarchy for an experience that makes a lasting impression.

Development:Through designer and developer collaboration, we draft technical specifications that detail exactly how the site will function in preparation for development. And because our sites are built on a WordPress platform, we can engineer a custom back-end solution that allows you to easily add, update, and edit content without knowing code or HTML markup.

Ongoing Content Creation:Launching your website isn’t the final step in the digital marketing process—it’s merely the start of a ongoing effort to create compelling content that keeps users engaged with your products and services. This includes identifying underperforming pages and updating content, as well as restructuring page elements and calls to action to improve conversion rates.
